Thanks Nick - looking forward to it. I am still trying to figure out exactly where we are meeting...

Lovely. This guy sells a large number of very nice watches at various prices, I get emails from him occasionally. No idea how (if) you can know that they are not franken though.

^aha. I always think of that more like worst of? I meant for genuinely interesting things you might otherwise miss. like reasoned debate on rape in the WTF thread.

^^was that directed at the rep-search question or the best of idea generally?

and, as an aside, is there a way of searching by rep? That might also give a slightly more scientific "what's hot and what's not"

Is there a best of thread? to link to any posts or series of posts in random threads that you found especially useful/good/interesting?

If there is, please merge, if not, this can be it, I'll start:

"epic WTF" thread delivers thought provoking discussion on rape, from this post to at least post #5018

once again, forum delivers unexpectedly intelligent, thought-provoking and interesting discussion. In a completely random thread.

Just go with the HTFU. Are you a member? They have the peter pan thing I think for people who have been racing all year. I've only ever managed to get there to swim twice a year tops, really nice though, nice people.

/CSB...

How many tickles does it take to make an octopus giggle?

Ten tickles.

I much prefer your sentence, because, as you say, it flows significantly better and imho sounds more poetic. I guess it depends on the purpose. Interestingly (I think, anyway) in my experience in the legal world, by general consensus and "house style" commas are not used except in lists. Which runs contrary to the grammar I have been taught, such as I have been, but does at least illustrate that it is horses for courses.

tl;dr: depends on where it's being used, stick to your guns, yours sounds better.

[Oliver to come along shortly and provide a real answer]

yes - hang on, I'll find it again. The person you sell them to needs to be on seedrs, but I guess they would just sign up purely for that purpose.

this is the great thing about seedrs - normally it's pretty hard to just invest in a private company.

How is the timetable looking? I'm looking forward to starting to use a microcosm based forum!

I suspect I am misremembering or he was exaggerating.

However, this (About 6 posts from the bottom) is as near as I could get to justifying my wild assertion up there^^

"Series 1,2.3 Metrocab - 25 mpg (pre euro 3 upgrade)
LTI fairway - 22 mpg
TX1 - as above (same engine)
TX2 - 18-20 ish mpg
TX4 - 17 mpg
TTT Metrocab - 18-20 mpg

all above figures for London central work only & are aprox figures. (spoke to one TX4 owner who reported a return of 28 mpg from his)"

But 60mpg would be a small light car with good conditions (i.e. not an average of 12(?) miles an hour, stopping and starting all over central London)

get cabs often with work, and I often try to steal (a little bit of The) Knowledge from them. very interesting. Basically they just have their routes, and they hop on the nearest one to where you are, and hop off it at the nearest point to where you are going. It normally works but not always.

I also got told that the new TX4s or whatever they are do about 7mpg, which is insane. I've been told they spend so much on fuel that they can't even recover VAT on all of it because the tax man thinks they MUST be trying to rip them off.

They all seem to complain about the [impending?] loss of the Fairway - which is even worse on emissions...*

*please note all opinions stated are derived from the back of a cab, are not my own, and may bear very little resemblence to the truth.

yes, 56a still going strong, I was there on Saturday.

so sad, thoughts go to the family, who may not even yet know. Really sad.

This is interesting - if you can find someone who wants to buy then you can sell at any price.
